In the show, Lee turns up at the University of Nebraska, apparently midway through a recent semester. Having spent the last 20 years as a mayhem-causing rock musician, Lee, not surprisingly, has trouble with the classes he has signed up for.

Too much of the show is just too predictable: Lee doesn't understand his physics or chemistry classes; he turns up for his first English class not having read the book; he enlists the help of a hot blond tutor -- and surprise, surprise, she's so hot and so blond that he can't concentrate on electrons and nuclei.

The best bits of the show focus on his attempts to fit in with the Nebraska marching band -- he looks seriously out of his element and the band's drum routines are much harder than he thought they would be, despite his years of experience pounding drums for the hair-metal band Motley Crue.

A show called "Tommy Lee Joins a College Marching Band" might actually be kind of fun. The premise of Lee going to college -- and a note at the end of the show reveals he was never actually enrolled in any courses -- is a bit of a bore.
